1.進(jìn)教堂
Into the Church
Three buildings in town were overrun by squirrels—the townhall, the hardware store, and the church. The town hall broughtin some cats. But after they tore up all the files, the mayor gotrid of the predators, and soon the squirrels were back. Thehardware store humanely trapped the squirrels and set themfree outside town. But three days later, the squirrels climbed back in. Only the church came upwith an effective solution. They baptized the squirrels and made them members. Now they seethem only on Christmas and Easter.
鎮(zhèn)里有三座建筑物被松鼠占領(lǐng)了--市政廳、五金店和教堂。市政廳引進(jìn)了一些貓。但這些“獵手”撕毀了文檔,于是它們也就被市長(zhǎng)請(qǐng)出了市政廳。而很快,松鼠又回來(lái)了。五金店捕捉到松鼠后,施與憐憫將它們?cè)阪?zhèn)外釋放了。但三天后,松鼠爬回鎮(zhèn)里來(lái)了。只有教堂采取了一種有效的解決方案。松鼠得到洗禮成為了教眾。現(xiàn)在,人們只會(huì)在圣誕節(jié)和復(fù)活節(jié)時(shí)才能看到松鼠。

3. 好燈
Good Lights
A customer walked into our store looking for Christmas lights. I showed her our top brand, but—wanting to make sure each bulb worked—she asked me to take them out of the box andplug them in. I did, and each one lit up. "Great," she said. I carefully placed the string of lights backin the box. But as I handed them to her, she looked alarmed. "I don’t want this box," she saidabruptly. "It’s been opened."
一位顧客進(jìn)我們的商店買圣誕燈。我給她看了我們店里的牌子,但還需確認(rèn)一下燈泡是否正常。她讓我把燈泡從盒子里拿出來(lái),然后通上電。我照做了。每一個(gè)燈泡都是正常的。她說(shuō):“非常好?!蔽倚⌒囊硪淼匕堰@串圣誕燈放回盒子里??僧?dāng)我把這一盒燈泡交給她時(shí),她吃驚地看著我,突然說(shuō):“我不要這一盒,它打開過(guò)的?!?
